Pascagoula, Miss.-Mississippi Phosphates Corp. said July 6 that a component of one of the two sulfuric acid plants at its DAP facility in Pascagoula suffered a failure that will require extensive repairs. This work, which commenced July 6, will require shutting down the sulfuric acid plant for approximately 30 days. During the shutdown, DAP output at the Pascagoula plant could be limited to 1,000-2,000 st/d. Miss Phos may be able to produce more if it is able to source sulfuric acid elsewhere; however, that is not assured. Miss Phos DAP capacity with its two sulfuric acid plants is 750,000 st/y. The plant has the capacity to produce as much as 870,000 st/y if it buys additional acid.
